高考英语阅读例解十大猜词法讲解

高考英语阅读例解十大猜词法讲解高考英语阅读例解十大猜词法讲解阅读理解是高考英语试卷中卷面分值最高的，为了方便考生们更好地复习英语，小编在这里整理了阅读例解十大猜词法讲解，希望能对考生们有帮助!1.构词法猜词阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词。

掌握构词法对猜测词义很有帮助。

如：unforeseeable.这个词，可以根据构词法把它拆成un, fore, see , able;其中 see 是词根，fore是“先，前，预”的含义，un是否定，able是“能……的，可……的”，因此unforeseeable是“未能预见到的”意思。

2.利用同义近义词猜词在生词所出现的上下文中，有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构，这时可从熟悉的词语中推知生词的含义。

统称在词或短语之间有并列连词and或or，这些词语或短语在句中作相同的成分，并且and或or连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，甚至推出它的大致词义。

3.利用反义词猜词对比是描述，说明事物的常用方式。

在对比中，对比的事物是互为相反的，因此根据反义或对比关系可从已知推出未知。

利用反义词来说明生词的意义，如反义词hot and cold, perfect and imperfect，甚至前、后句为肯定与否定或是与不是等，在句内词与词之间，在段内句与句之间的关系上起着互为线索的作用。

4.利用上下文语境猜词任何一篇文章中的'句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。

利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，是阅读过程中的一大关键，这也是近年来高考(课程)考查的热点。

特别提醒：在做英语(课程)阅读理解题时，一定要注意熟词生义!这类猜词题也常见于各年高考题当中。

熟词生义比生词本身的障碍要大得多。

原因有三：其一，高考对生词的数量有数量的规定，不得超过3%;其二，熟词生义很容易引起考生的误解;其三，熟词生义的数量没有限制。

英语阅读理解中的十种猜词法

英语阅读理解中的十种猜词法由于近年来高考英语阅读理解题在许多情况下对考纲外的生词不夹注中文，尤其是高考英语还经常直接对猜测生词词义设题，有时甚至还占有较高的比例，所以考生学会如何巧妙地根据文章所提供信息来猜测生词是很有必要的。

下面介绍几种常见的猜测生词词义的方法。

1．定义法定义法，即根据文章中的定义关系确定生词的词义。

如：（1）A glacier is a river of rice.句义说明glacier 的意思是“冰河”。

（2）A linguist is a person who studies the science of language.Linguist 就是一个“研究语言科学的人”，即“语言学家”。

2．释义法释义法，即根据文章中提供的释义关系来确定生词的词义。

如：（1） They described him as a loom, or a foolish man.句中的or 是对loom 的解释，即 loom 与a foolish man 同义，即表示“笨蛋”。

（2） They are three kinds of snow. One kind is a fluffy snow which is somewhat dry and feathery.定语从句 that is somewhat dry and feathery（有点儿干，像羽毛似的）说明fluffy snow 的意思可能是“鹅毛大雪”。

3．同位法同位法是对所修饰词语的进一步说明和解释，假设对所修饰的词语不熟悉，可通过其后面同位语的“说明或解释”来确定词义。

如：（1） His father is an expert in phoics, the study of sounds of language.同位语 the study of sounds of language 表示phoics 的意思是“语言学”。

（2） Jean was born with spina bifida, a birth illness that damages the spina (脊骨)同位语a birth illness that damages the spina 说明了spina bifida 是一种病，一种对脊骨有害的病。

高三阅读理解专题(猜词)

阅读理解专题二——猜词根据上下文推断生词的词义。

一般在该词出现的上和下句子中找答案。

1.常见的词义猜测题型：T he underlined word “ … ” refers to (means) .Which of the following words can take the place of the word “ … ”?What is the meaning of “ … ” as the words are used in the text?Which of the following has the closest meaning to the word “ … ”?2.解题方法：（1）利用定义线索特征：常有be, be called, mean, refer to, be defined as等词语来提示。

例1[,ænθrə’pɔlədʒi]Anthropology is the scientific study of man. Anthropology means _______例2Desert can be defined as a large area of land where there is not enough rain and vegetation to support human life. Desert refers to______.（2）利用解释说明线索特征：常有that is(to say), in other words, namely,or 等词语来提示或者利用同位语或定语从句。

例1In some countries where there is very little rain, the farmers have to irrigate, or water their fields.To irrigate means______.注：or=mean 表示一词语对另一词语的解释关系或为其同义词语例2His uncle is a zoologist, an expert who does research on animals. Zoologist refers to ________.例3 [si’mæntiks]Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently. Semantics means_______.例4The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year. Herdsman refers to ________.（3）利用举例线索特征：常有for example, for instance, such as, like等词语来提示。

高中英语阅读理解之猜词题(思维导图+练习含答案)

阅读理解之猜词题（解析版）猜词悟义是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考阅读理解中必考的题型。

它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。

同时，考生应掌握一些猜词技巧，通过定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、同义、反义、构词、常识及上下文线索等确定词义。

一、思维导图二、方法点拨1. 设问方式•The underlined word “ … ” refers to/ (probably) means .•“…” as used in the pa ssage can best be defined as…•What do you think the expression “…” stands for?•What does the underlined word “…” refer to in the last paragraph?•Which of the following words can take the place of the word “ … ”?•The underlined word “…” could best be replaced by…•Which of the following has the closest meaning to the word “ … ”?•What does the author mean by “…” in paragraph 2?2. 七大技巧1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释。

标点符号，如逗号后的解释(名词同位语)、破折号后的解释、括号内的解释等。

这都是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。

例如：例子1Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.29．Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A．Complex.B．Advanced.C．Powerful. D．Modern.[分析]根据画线词所在句子可知，人类社会发展的很多因素导致许多语言消失，而逐渐被英语、西班牙语、汉语等语言取代，画线词前后的解释暗示了这些语言逐渐占主导地位，故选C项powerful (强大的，有影响力的)。

Ask some one what they have done to help the en vir onment rece ntly and they will almostcertainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle ofte n means we already have more material tha n we n eed. We are deali ng with the results of that over-con sumption in the gree nest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not n eed to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packag ing in creased by 12% betwee n 1999 and 2005. It now makes up athird of a typical household 'waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items arepackaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.

But one more has just bee n added - a com munications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm with in the Sun, scie ntists have detected the sig ns of a flesh cycle of sun spots that couldpeak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scie ntists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosi ons that could throw billi ons of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, caus ing strong solar storms that could jam the telecom mun icati ons satellites and in teract links sending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong in flue nce on the Earth . The Olympics could be in the middle of the n ext solarmaximum which could affect the fun ctio ns of com muni cati ons satellites," said Professor Richard Harris on, head of space physics at the Rutherford Applet on Laboratory in Oxfordshire .At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射 )occur in the Sun'satmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter . " A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour . Such events can expose astronautsto a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harris on added . The risk is greatest duri ng a solar maximum whe n there is the greatest nu mber of sun spots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advaneed televisi ons available.The Rutherford Applet on Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solarflares (太阳耀斑)and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosi on big eno ugh to affect satellite com muni cati ons on Earth "If we have adva nce warni ng, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.72. The phrase "communications blackout "in paragraph 1 most probably refers to ________ during the 201273. What can be in ferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A .

He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy （经济）. Manygraduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest （投资） and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs shouldreceive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.68.
